The year 2019 for Taurus/ Vrishabh in a nutshell:

The year 2019 promises to be better than the previous one for the Taurus born individuals. Jupiter’s presence in the 7th house for most part of the year, can bring some good opportunities for growth and better prospects in interpersonal relationships. Your mood and morale is likely to be upbeat – greater hope prevails and you tend to do better professionally.

The fact remains that you are still under the influence of Ashtama Shani - Saturn‘s painful transit through the eighth house. This continues to pose its peculiar challenges intermittently where you may feel emotionally, physically or financially vulnerable. A lot of what transpires this year will be dependent on how you handle your communication and speech. Acts of bravado and impolite /irreverent tones are best avoided. Last two months of the year again require you to be cautious and responsible.

There are definite indications of a good breakthrough or professional progress for the Taurus born individuals. Those of you looking for suitable employment are able to find a good job. Those in business activity are likely to gain a profitable contract and the number of people in your network also grows - with some, you experience mental synergy and some others offer valuable help in some form, possibly even offering to initiate something in a partnership. There is a boost in morale and you find greater confidence to handle complicated tasks. Many Taurus individuals may see a fairly ambitious phase getting sparked off.

However do take note that Rahu moves into your second house from the month of March. You will need to keep a firm grip on your communication - make active efforts to keep the rough edges out, to keep it clear and timely and also avoid the pitfalls of overcommitting! Weigh the pros and cons of a job before saying yes and do not promise the moon and stars, unnecessarily raising the expectations. It is a much better phase for financial wellness. You are able to earn more, create more wealth and assets and are even able to handle a difficult situation effectively.

Please keep in mind that this is not the time to let your adventurous side take over where investments are concerned. Staying conservative with money is the best approach. There may be quite a few long distance/ abroad travels slated this year. Individuals working in partnership need to clearly define boundaries. Handling other’s responsibilities may make you bitter later. Family run businesses need to be handled with greater empathy and better communication between members.

Emotional disturbance in personal relationships could impact productivity at work. It is a breakthrough year for some Taurus individuals as you overcome fear/ a limiting belief. There is so much to be achieved. You may now be able to free yourself from some shackles of the past. It is liberating. It is an intangible gain of great magnitude. The last quarter may bring some issues of interpersonal dynamics or a legal matter creating difficulty. You may be greatly interested in academic progress. Healers, psychics, teachers make tremendous progress in their spiritual journey.

Jupiter now resides in your 7th house of interpersonal relationships and marriage - it indicates an auspicious time for the eligible and willing to tie the knot. In either case, this is a space where possibility for finding happiness in relationships exists. You are more accepting of others and love comes easier. However, if seen in a holistic manner this is the time of learning and growing. Saturn moving through the 8th house though, may keep you sombre or suspicious wondering whether relationships can ever bring happiness!

Those grieving over a loss may not be able to fully appreciate the value of wonderful people around. The difficult Saturn-Ketu conjunction in your eighth house may dredge up bitter memories from the past, leading to unpleasantness. It will take extra levels of patience and consistent efforts at finding the right path to stay on track.

There could be difficulty in relationship with in-laws/ spouses’ family Some Taurus individuals could set up a nuclear home because of the same. It may be a challenge the property matter and inheritance are concerned.
